Dubaigong, what I said in my last post was accurate.
I get paid the same as everyone else.
As for leave, I think I’ve still got 11 days outstanding for next year that I’ve not used yet. Used all the days from last year. There is a point that I’ll happily concede. We don’t have kids so all leave for us is “can I have a week in XXXXX month at some point? Don’t really care when”. If you’ve got kids and want time off to match school holidays it’s a lot harder.
